Can You Help?  In an effort to cut expenses, we ask that you consider helping in the following ways:  donate a bag of coffee, sugar, creamer, or snacks for Sunday School, paper goods for fellowship times or cleaning supplies.  Also, bring a travel mug for your coffee.  Thanks for your help and we’d appreciate your ideas, too!

Minimizing Distractions: To the extent possible, please stay seated once the teaching begins; and please turn off or silence all communication devices.
